I had a medical abortion done on August 11th after having a missed miscarriage in week 8 with the baby measuring around 6 weeks. I was told at the check up at the hospital a week later that my period would probably return in two weeks (which would have been this Monday) but that it was possible to get pregnant right away. Now almost a month has passed since the start of the medical abortion and I haven't had my period, but I'm also not pregant or at least have not gotten any positive tests, although we've been trying.

I'm usually very much in touch with what's going in inside my body, but now I've lost all touch and really have no Idea what's going in.

I'm not as far past my D&C as you are (it will have been two weeks ago this coming Tuesday). But, it is very positive for you that your HPTs are showing negative; that means that you're likely to be ovulating.

I just found out this morning that I'm pregnant! :-) So that is why I hadn't gotten my period yet!! The good thing about all the negative tests I took is now I know for sure that it's not just the hormones from the miscarriage that are still showing.

It took me 9'weeks and 2 days after my D & C due to MMC. My procedure was done on June 2nd, had a funky cycle on August 6th and a really heavy cycle again on August 31st. Idk what's going on but I know my situation may be different from others. Because we did not know my baby heart stopped beating and had passed, I became septic. I was hospitalized on IV antibiotics for 48 hours.
